**Sandringham, England** – King Charles III is on the hunt for a skilled shepherd to manage his 2,000-strong flock of Aberfields sheep on the Sandringham Estate. The successful candidate must have at least two years of experience, their own working dog, and a passion for livestock.
The role will involve daily shepherding, with additional responsibilities including assisting with winter housing and spring calving of the beef herd. Applicants must be self-motivated team players committed to upholding the highest standards of animal welfare.
The Sandringham Estate, which is organically farmed, uses the sheep to produce “finished lamb for a premium supermarket retailer.” The King has been a vocal advocate for sustainable farming practices, revolutionizing the 21,000-acre estate with organic methods, rare breed cattle, and the planting of hedgerows.
The job advert emphasizes the importance of aligning with the King’s vision for land management. “A passion for livestock, an open mind, and a willingness to learn and develop alongside an innovative system will be critical to succeeding in this role,” it states.
Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications by September 27th.
